AppNexus Picks Up $60 Million, as Valuation Grows to $1.2 Billion

Funding to help to further global presence

AppNexus has picked up $60 million in funding from a "large, Boston-based public equity and asset management firm," per a statement from the ad-tech company, which also revealed that an additional $40 million could be on the way from other investors.

Even without the $40 million, the New York-based player has raised $200 million to date. With such cash in its coffers, AppNexus can be valuated at $1.2 billion.

AppNexus didn't disclose names of investors. It claims to have transacted more than $1 billion in ad spending during 2013.

According to a press release, the company plans to use the new cash to "continue the rapid expansion of its global team and to invest in creating innovations that will transform digital advertising."
